A school under construction just across the road facing Punggol Arcadia. The far end of the picture shows Sengkang housing estates.

Take a look at the lone LRT line going from Punggol Central towards Sengkang. It seems to run parallel to Punggol Way.

Let's take a look at a side elevation view from open field next to Punggol Road.

Notice all the gable walls of the building are with cast-in-situ concrete. ( not pre-fabricated ) The floor slabs are also cast on site, after the storerooms and other structures are in place.

Building levels completed are 4th, 5th and 6th levels towards the end.
